This is a great gateway series to anime, combining American and Japanese styles of animation, while also blending in themes of Chinese mythology. It may have aired on Nickelodeon, but it's not just a kids show! Aang is able to control all four nature elements. He's a loveable goof, but his abilities make him the one capable of ending war against the nations. Together with his friends, they work to save and rebuild the nations. The live action movie may have sucked, but the animated series is full of great storytelling, and gorgeous artistic moments.

Have you seen this series? If not, what is your favorite cartoon series?

I haven't seen the whole series, but the rest of my family (my wife included) have. They all enjoyed it, and from what I've seen, I understand why. It's a good story with a very definite arc, and some interesting twists. I agree that it's not just for kids.

Ahhh, another Characters-Themed challenger! I've been meaning to get into Avatar for aaaages, but some other TV show always pops up first! I'll definitely have to check it out now - I'll take this as a sign :)

I LOVED THIS POST. I totally agree with you! My favourite anime would have to be Golden Time/Another/Free/Mahou Sensou/Nisekoi/Attack on Titan/Sword Art Online etc etc. There's just too many good ones out these days! I'm so excited for the new spring anime that are coming out in the next week or so.

It would mean so much to me if you could visit my blog, www.thatgirlybookworm.blogspot.ca

My theme focuses on books and the title that is the letter of the day. :)

I've never seen this one. I have a hard time getting into animated shows. I don't know why. I prefer the simpler, old-style animation from my childhood, although I don't watch those anymore either. It's a great choice though, based on your description. :)
